Two circular faces of a bronze medal feature figures in relief. On the left, a muscular man swings a hammer above an anvil and coiled snake, encircled by the inscription: PRESENTED BY THE AMERICAN CAR AND FOUNDRY COMPANY. On the right, a robed figure strides with an outstretched arm and sword. Text reads: FOR SERVICE FAITHFULLY RENDERED. The metal has a warm brown patina with radiating lines behind the central figures.
